Sources: Vikes' McCarthy (ankle) out 2-4 weeks

According to sources, Minnesota Vikings quarterback J.J. McCarthy is expected to be sidelined for 2-4 weeks due to a high ankle sprain. The injury will result in Carson Wentz taking over as the starting quarterback during McCarthy's absence. High ankle sprains typically require a longer recovery period compared to standard ankle sprains, which is why the Vikings' medical staff has projected a 2-4 week timeline for McCarthy's return to the field. This news comes as a setback for the Vikings, who were counting on their young quarterback to lead the team's offense this season. With Wentz set to take the reins, the Vikings will need to rely on his experience and leadership to maintain their performance during McCarthy's recovery period. The team's upcoming games will be crucial in determining their ability to adapt to this change in their quarterback lineup.
